As you might know, Verizon's 4G commercial debuts will happen this Sunday. "4G" can mean very different things for different carriers, but at the very least, it is supposed to represent a "discontinuity" in terms of network performance, when compared to 3G networks (note that there are also 3.5G networks...). We got our hands on the LC VL600, one of the two Verizon 4G modem available today. We took it for a ride, and here are the first pieces of hard data that we have compiled for you.
As you can see, the sheer download speed is very impressive (and is consistent with previous 4G performance rumors), and far beyond "4G" Networks like Sprint's. We've chosen to run synthetic tests with different benchmarks because results often vary from one to another. However, we also streamed 1080p videos and movie trailers (try this one with your 3G modem), and that showed that we were indeed getting impressive download speeds. Competing products could simply not sustain that kind of streaming in our testing conditions.
